Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 438

Episode 438 The Necessity of Madness (3)

Wizinovac’s first impression was ordinary.

An impression that can be seen anywhere on the street. His back was straight, but he wasn’t very tall, his hair and beard were trimmed appropriately, and even the clothes he was wearing weren’t made of silk.

To put it harshly, he had the appearance of a villager.

Meanwhile, the outfit seemed very natural, so it seemed like he usually walked around like this.

‘But it’s not ordinary.’

Although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were unusual.

It contains deep, deep anger and fear, but other emotions are also visible.

‘Joy?’

Yes.

Wizinovac was happy. Being alone with the Heavenly Demon was a tremendous burden to him, but it was also something he had not been longing for.

‘I’ve learned my skills. But it’s about curing. His gait is stable and his body is strong for his age.’

But that’s it. I learned martial arts just enough to live a healthy life, and nothing more.

‘Are you saying you’re a merchant?’

Seo-ryang chuckled and pointed to the opposite direction.

“Sit down.”

Squeak.

Wizinobaek sat down and straightened his back and looked at Seoryang.

Unlike Wijinobaek’s upright and angular posture, Seoryang looked very comfortable. He rested his chin on one hand and held a glass with the other. There seemed to be no limit.

‘What is it?’

Wizinobaek frowned.

‘Is this really the Demon Cult leader?’

If Seoliang’s first impression of Wizinobaek was that of extraordinaryness within the ordinary, Wizinobaek’s first impression of Seoliang was questionable.

‘No matter what, this is too much…’

He thought Ma Cyoju was a symbol of fear.

Everyone thought that way, and in fact, he did. The same was true of the Heavenly Demon of the previous generation that he saw. Although he only saw it from a distance, it radiated an overwhelming presence that could be felt even from that distance. It was

then that he realized why the Heavenly Demon had become a symbol of invincibility.

He had seen an invincible being that no one could surpass. He couldn’t imagine the Heavenly Demon looking so simple. It felt like the imaginary being he had vaguely imagined had been shattered.

His eyes, which were full of anger, tension, joy, and fear, were filled with disappointment.

‘Could it be someone else?’

Wijinobaek glanced at the dragon robe worn by Seo-ryang.

It was an extraordinary robe that could be seen at a glance.

For a moment, he thought it might be a double, but the Demonic Cult does not create doubles for its leader. Faith and loyalty toward God Because he is so amazing. Much less would he dress his assistant in such clothes.

“Are you the Heavenly Demon?”

In the end, I had no choice but to ask honestly.

Seo-ryang grinned.

“Why? If you think about it all, doesn’t he look like the Heavenly Demon?”

Wijinobaek, who was looking at Seoryang quietly, nodded honestly.

“That’s right.”

It was clear that the other person was a person who not only disliked lies but was also offended by empty words. Wisinovac, who had been dealing with people for decades, could instinctively know this.

His judgment was correct.

“If you made a useless joke or made a fuss, just let it go. “I was planning on pushing it all away.”

“??!”

“It seems like you know very well that this is not a situation that can be overlooked with a few lies. I commend you.”

I was crying!

No matter how Cheonma was, he was still young and not even 30 years old. On the other hand, he was a great tycoon of the commercial world who had gone through many hardships. How could you

praise someone like that? His

discomfort soared, but he quickly calmed down.

The opponent was Cheonma. Isn’t he the greatest genius in the history of the Demonic Cult who was recognized as a

Heavenly Demon before he was even 30? The opponent should be viewed as the head of the Demonic Cult and an invincible Heavenly Demon, not as a young man. Wijinobaek quickly got his feelings under control.

“For now…”

“It’s a desirable posture.”

“???”

“Just as it is no coincidence that you became the owner of a huge business called Gangseo Sanghoe, it is also no coincidence that I became the owner of the Heavenly Demon Church.”

“??”

“There is nothing more difficult than seeing the other person properly. “It’s even more difficult for someone who is older and in a position where they don’t have to say sorry to others.”

Xu Liang filled his cup.

“At least it won’t be a bad drinking party.”

“??.”

“What are you doing? “Have a drink.”

Wisinovac raised his glass.

His hand holding the glass was trembling slightly.

‘It’s being read!’

He was looking at himself with a smiling face, but his eyes were not smiling.

It was not because he was the owner of Gangseo Store. No matter who the opponent is, this person never lets down his or her guard. Even though he had reached the highest level of the Heavenly Mara, he was a man who did not let down his guard.

Wizinovac felt a chill in his stomach.

‘A beast with intelligence greater than that of a human…!’

I don’t know where the disappointment I first felt went. My heart rate rose at an alarming rate.

“Shaoxing Zhou. They say they got it from a neighboring town, but it was definitely not as good as eating it from the place where it was produced.”

“??.”

“Does it fit your mouth?”

“??Yes.”

My tone of voice changed without me even realizing it. Although he only recognized it after he had said it, Wisinovac did not think his change in speaking style was strange.

Seo-ryang, who was looking at Wizino Bag with his chin resting, slowly leaned back in his chair.

“You managed to come here. “Actually, I thought you would run away.”

Wisinovac opened his mouth with difficulty.

“If I had run away, Gangseo Province would have become a sea of fire.”

“Isn’t that something that has nothing to do with you? You didn’t settle here because you liked Jiangxi, right?”

At that moment, Wisinovac felt a chill running down his spine.

‘Did you know?’

Given the intelligence power of the Demon Cult, you would not know that all of the leaders who made up the Gangseo Store harbored hostile feelings toward the Demon Cult.

Thinking about that, my startled mind quickly calmed down.

‘That’s right. This is the position I came here because I wanted. There is no need to be nervous, no matter who your opponent is.’

Seoliang’s eyes sparkled. Seeing the change in Wijinobaek’s breathing and eyes, he realized that he had taken control of his mind.

“There’s no need to drag on. “I will ask you directly.”

“What happened in Honam…”

“??.”

“How will you compensate?”

“yes?!”

Wisinovac tilted his head.

Since he was going to speak bluntly, I thought he was going to ask about the incident that shook the Honam martial arts community. But compensation out of the blue?

Xu Liang frowned.

“I don’t know that Gangseo Store is behind the Honam conflict. “I didn’t call you here to ask about something you already know.”

“???!”

“What’s important is compensation. Many people died because of you. If you think about the other people who suffered damage, it would be difficult to even express the amount of money you have to pay by saying it is astronomical.”

Wisinovac asked with a dumbfounded expression.

“Seo, really?”

“hmm?”

“Didn’t you come to hold this company accountable?”

“You’re holding them responsible now, aren’t you?”

Of course, providing compensation is also a responsibility.

However, Wijinobaek thought that the other party had come with the intention of completely erasing Gangseo Sanghoe. Otherwise, why would a man weighing a thousand horses come to Gangseo in person?

No, in the first place, the fact that Ma Jyoju came to Gangseo Province directly for something like this was ridiculous. Ma Jiaoju is a symbol of fear and destruction. If he was planning to receive financial compensation, all he had to do was send his subordinates.

Wisinovac did not hide his feelings.

“Are you saying that you came here personally for this reason?”

“Gojak?”

Xu Liang frowned.

“Hundreds of demons have been harmed by your tricks. Can you do nothing about something like that?”

“??!”

“I tell you clearly, even if you want to die, you cannot die until you properly compensate them for the damage. “I won’t make it like that.”

Whether intentional or not, Seo-ryang’s remarks placed a tremendous burden on Wijinobaek.

It’s not a threat to kill, it’s that I won’t kill you even if you want to die. Isn’t this a statement that someone like a god of death who can control the life and death of others would make?

The problem was that, considering the opponent’s military force and organizational power, it was not enough to truly be called a Shinigami.

Wisinovac, who had been thinking about the word compensation several times, asked.

“When it comes to compensation, how much do you have in mind?”

“A million gold taels.”

“??!!”

“Wouldn’t that be enough to somewhat repair the damage? Of course, money cannot bring back someone who has already died, but in reality, money is the only thing that can help the bereaved family.”

Wisinovac opened his mouth wide.

Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.

“In fact, even one million nyang may not be enough to upend Honam businesses from their roots and start over. However, it cannot be said that the school was at fault for not stepping forward in time. “If there are any additional costs, the school will cover them, so you must take responsibility for them.”

“??I’ll ask you again. “Did you say a million nyang?”

“That’s right.”

“Are you talking about a million gold coins?”

“You heard me well.”

Wizinovac’s voice rose higher without me realizing it.

“That’s ridiculous! A million pieces of gold would be enough to buy even a small country!”

“That’s what you did.”

“yes?!”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“Didn’t you destroy a small country that was paying tribute under the empire called Heavenly Demon Church?” “

??”

“It turns out that you used your own skills very well. The purpose was clear: to create chaos and collapse from within. If it were me, I would have thought of methods such as subjugation by force or assassination, but you were different. “You turned Honam around with just money and rumors.”

Seo-ryang filled his cup and continued speaking.

“I can’t say it was groundbreaking, but it was worthy of being evaluated as a high-level strategy. “If you hadn’t been caught by us, you would have spread your influence all the way to Honam.”

“That’s not true!”

“I guess I can take those words now as a clear confession of what I did, right?”

Wizinobaek thought, “Oh my gosh.

There’s no need to lie to someone who already knows everything, but admitting a mistake directly with one’s own mouth feels like a huge burden. After decades of holding and swaying the other person, he made a fatal mistake.

” The look in his eyes became cold.

Wisinovac, who was trying to continue speaking urgently, felt the shock that froze his mind and body at the look in his eyes.

“Or how do you want to compensate? How do you want to take responsibility?”

“??.”

“Do you all want to die?”

Creepy!

Wizinovac’s face turned pale.

It was a common threat. However, since the threat was made by the Demon Cultist, it did not sound like a simple threat.

If he wants, he has the power to kill himself right here and now and completely blow up the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce before dawn the next day.

It was a journey that risked not only one’s life but also the existence of the company. However, as the conversation continued, the courage that had been soaring went away, and the fear only grew.

Seoliang, who was glaring at Wizinobag with blue eyes, smiled for a moment.

The transformation from a northern monster radiating murderousness in the bitter cold to a handsome young man with a spring smile is truly free. I couldn’t figure out what this person’s true appearance was.

Wisinovac finally realized.

‘Completely different!’

The opponent is different from Sentai Heavenly Demon.

If the Cheonma of the previous era was an invincible person who was perfected by existence itself, the Cheonma of that time was an invincible person with a face that could change as much as desired depending on the situation.

If the previous Heavenly Demon was an unstoppable thunderbolt, the contemporary Heavenly Demon was a capricious dark cloud.

If the previous Heavenly Demon was a demon king with endless majesty, the contemporary Heavenly Demon was a supreme king imbued with greedy madness.

Looking at the contemporary Cheonma, which had nothing in common with the previous generation except for the fact that it had a power close to disaster, Wijinobaek felt his eyesight turn dark.

“Is it a waste of a million gold pieces? “Isn’t life worth it?”

“I just…”

“Then there is only one way left.”

“???!”

“Damsayeong.”

Seo-ryang’s face has now become expressionless.

It was a blunt face that didn’t seem to change even if there was a flood or an earthquake.

“Having Damsayoung stand before me. That is the last compensation method you can choose.”
